Harvard-led researchers in DARPA's Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum devices (ONISQ) program have created the first-ever quantum circuit with logical quantum bits (qubits), a key discovery that could accelerate fault-tolerant quantum computing and revolutionize concepts for designing quantum computer processors. The ONISQ program began in 2020 seeking to demonstrate a quantitative advantage of quantum information processing by leapfrogging the performance of classical-only supercomputers to solve a particularly challenging class of problem known as combinatorial optimization

The IRIS-T SLM medium-range air defence system by Diehl Defence has reportedly demonstrated a significant success rate, even in the face of waves of attacks with more than 12 targets. In a statement released on December 4, the company
A joint effort involving U.S
Norway has initiated the delivery of overhauled F-16 fighter jets to Romania, with three Romanian pilots set to fly these aircraft back home in a ceremony at Rygge Airfield. The purchase of these F-16s is a strategic move by Romania, an allied nation in NATO's eastern flank, sharing borders with Ukraine
Israel has deployed an artificial intelligence tool "Gospel" to select targets in its bombardment of alleged Hamas targets in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza. The system gathers coordinates of houses and locations where members of Hamas and other groups may be present besides tracking their movements which is then confirmed by human intelligence before ordering a strike
